"Today the student and I first set a game plan for her regular Spanish immersion assignment and submitted it to her teacher. She is required to partake in several regular activities that would build her Spanish language skills, be they conversation, reading, and/or media consumption. We've agreed upon reading one Spanish-language magazine article per week, watching a half hour of Spanish-language television per week, and a weekly hour of conversation. She also finished and submitted her physics lab assignment. We then discussed the semester's first major geometry assessment, which consisted of creating a map on a coordinate plane and using it to solve problems related to line slope and triangle/quadrilateral definitions."

"Today the student and I covered a small array of topics during our first meeting. We discussed inequalities - both algebra and number based - and statistical frequency tables. This also led into a thorough discussion involving direct proportions. He understood all of the material we went over, but he has a major issue with timing. Next time I will demonstrate mathematical strategies that can improve his speed and accuracy. His last test was a 44 due primarily to this timing issue."

"The student and I worked through several SAT reading comprehension passages. We focused primarily on comparative passages (including humanities and fictional prose) and strategies for comparing author's tone, purpose, and rhetorical strategies. She and I also worked on honing strategies, including "splitting" answer choices and analyzing the keywords in questions to reach correct answers. We also discussed her successes and struggles with the PSAT, which she took last week, and we will be using her impressions of the test to shape the coming sessions. Our next session is scheduled for next Friday."

"We went over geometry (plane, coordinate, and solid), the logic of integers, algebraic representation of word problems, functions, pairs and matching, remainders, as well as some of the tricks to solving the algebraic questions on the test."

"We had a pretty good session; we focused on writing. The student had sent me a story and we reviewed it, looking at what he had done well and what needed improvement. We then discussed how to use descriptive language, and we reviewed several writing passages to see what the writers had done well and what could be improved. We will meet again this weekend. Meanwhile, he needs to finish his diagnostic exams, especially in verbal and reading."

"Today we covered more fundamentals of mathematics and went over the drills assigned to the student over the break. She has been assigned pre-reading and practice problems for algebra, and we will begin working on algebra together during our next session."

"Today, we reviewed the student's homework on position, velocity, and acceleration. We reviewed how to translate word problems into mathematical terms. We also reviewed how to graph a function and its derivative. Finally, we looked at some AP Calculus practice problems on the topic. The student did very well."

"For this session, we focused on reviewing a worksheet and example problems for an upcoming exam. In particular, we worked through problems involving finding absolute maximums and minimums of a function with a restricted domain. We also reviewed problems about working with a function to find its critical numbers. These included intervals where the function is increasing or decreasing, intervals where the function is concave up or concave down, and inflection points. We also worked through an optimization problem dealing with the volume of a box and used Newton's method to find zeros of a function. Overall, the student made major gains in his understanding of the material and was confident going into the exam."
